I'm back from Monterey. As wonderful as it was to get away from real life for a while, and as awesome as it was to collaborate with some amazingly talented authors, it was really nice to come home. I couldn't even get in my door before my kids flung themselves into my arms. I missed them so much!

Here are a couple pictures from California...

And here's a pic from Halloween...

It's Phineas, Ferb, Candace & Isabella

And finally, you're ALL invited to my book launch party this Tuesday, November 2nd. It's at The Comedy Sportz Theater in Chicago from 6:30 - 9:30. And since it's for a book about pregnancy and childbirth, what better way to celebrate than with a baby shower? Bring diapers, formula, new/gently used baby clothing, or other baby items to be entered in a drawing for raffle prizes. All donations will benefit Wings (Women In Need Growing Stronger), a non-profit organization helping women and children who are fleeing domestic violence.* FREE ADMISSION * RAFFLE PRIZES * REFRESHMENTS * GOODY BAGS FOR EVERYONE FROM SUAVE * SIGNED BOOKS * FUN *

Wow what a fantastic idea to make your book signing a baby shower theme and help the community.You are awesome.And if you can stand anymore compliments:those photos are beautiful and the kids are sooo adorable.Great costumes.

I really want to come to your book launch but can't get off work. You should have someone video tape your "stand up" and post it on You Tube for those who won't be able to see it! Good luck - I know you'll be great!

I know you wrote this on Sunday but due to my chaotic week/weekend (my father was hospitalized and had multiple brain surgeries but is home now) and my being out sick yesterday, I just saw this. You made my morning when you posted a picture of an otter! Thank you so much for the smile, I needed it :)

PS I also enjoyed a tasty cranberry limeade at Sonic thanks to the giftcard I won from you :D
